The World's 50 Best Restaurants - 2014

Here's a cue to update your to-do list - The World's 50 Best Restaurants list is out! After Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, everyone was waiting for the big one. Probably the most common question asked is, "how does a restaurant make it to the list?" To which the Academy replies, "the list is the result of a poll of 936 industry experts, each whom casts 7 votes for what they consider to be the best restaurants at which they have dined in the previous 18 months."

While this list is welcomed by the majority in the culinary world, to others it's nothing more than a list of predictable winners that leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
